Patriots Injury News Antonio Gibson out for year w/torn ACL

[n1997y]

It was a weird hit to tear an ACL. Maybe I got a bad view but it seemed dead on from the front. Big loss

I think it happened before the contact. If you look it seems he planted to cut and it looked like it buckled. Then he was in the air with neither foot planted when he was hit.

I would sign Hasty and have him as one of the KR's this next weekend.
===========
We should still look to acquire a RB, but this solves an immediate problem: replacing our KR/#3 RB.

Le'Veon Bell is 33 yo. At least younger then Patterson and some of the others mentioned.

Damian Harris is 28. Maybe he'll un-retire?

JJ Taylor is 27 and without a team

Kevin Harris is 25 and without a team

Pierre Strong is 25 and on the Green Bay Practice Squad

JaMycal Hasty is 29 and on the Dolphins Practice Squad

--------------------------------------------

I would bring in Kevin Harris for a workout tomorrow (5'10" 225lb) or sign Pierre Strong (5'11" 215lb)

Why would you bring in Any of those guys? Bell may be younger than Patterson, but he's never played in the system and hasn't played effectively for how many years?

Hasty was garbage in pre-season.

Didn't JJ Taylor have issues pass protecting?
What did you see in Harris that would make you think he'd be an asset?

Considering that Vrabel would have seen Strong last year in Cleveland, the fact that Vrabel didn't try and sign strong over Jennings after Strong was cut has to make you wonder if Vrabel didn't like what he saw.

Damn it. I wanted to see MORE Gibson, not less...

Get well soon.

Why would you bring in Any of those guys?

Because I didn't feel like perusing Practice Squads throughout the league

Bell may be younger than Patterson, but he's never played in the system and hasn't played effectively for how many years?

I don't disagree however RB is one of the positions that require little experience in a system. He needs to block.

Hasty was garbage in pre-season.

Didn't JJ Taylor have issues pass protecting?

They are too small anyway

What did you see in Harris that would make you think he'd be an asset?

Considering that Vrabel would have seen Strong last year in Cleveland, the fact that Vrabel didn't try and sign strong over Jennings after Strong was cut has to make you wonder if Vrabel didn't like what he saw.

I like Kevin Harris and Strong. I think they have talent. I'm in the minority.
